Asthma Emphyzema Self Help Inc

The East Village isn’t just about vintage shops and late-night eats—it’s also home to Asthma Emphyzema Self Help Inc, a social services organization tucked into the upper floors of 172 E 4th St. This isn’t a clinic or a pharmacy, but a resource hub for those navigating chronic respiratory conditions, offering everything from peer support groups to educational workshops. The building itself is a classic pre-war structure, blending into the neighborhood’s mix of tenements and community spaces.

Questions about managing symptoms or connecting with others who understand? A call to (212) 777-0486 puts you in touch with someone who can point you toward the right program. If you’re heading over, the map helps—just look for the unassuming entrance between the bodega and the laundromat.
